Injured by a Drunk Driver in Summerville, SC? We’re Here to Fight for You.
Drunk driving crashes aren’t just accidents they’re the result of reckless, preventable choices. If you or someone you love was injured by an impaired driver in Summerville, Ladson, or anywhere in Dorchester County, you deserve justice and full financial compensation.
At Ted Law Firm, we help DUI accident victims recover the money they need for medical bills, lost income, and long-term recovery. We know how to hold drunk drivers, and the people or businesses who enabled them accountable.
Why Drunk Driving Cases Are Different
These cases often involve more than simple negligence. Georgia and South Carolina law allow victims to seek punitive damages in DUI cases additional compensation meant to punish the driver for reckless behavior.
Your case may involve:
- Criminal DUI charges
- BAC (blood alcohol content) testing and field sobriety evidence
- Police reports and witness statements
- Potential dram shop claims (if a bar or restaurant overserved the driver)
We use the criminal investigation to strengthen your civil case and pursue every possible source of compensation.
